A Big Subscription Bill.-Several years ago
lady in this town had religious paper, pub
lished in distant city, sent to her for one year
as present. When the time for which the sub
scrption had been paid expired, the paper con-
tinued coming and was taken from the postofice
every week by a member of her family. She paid
no attention to the matter and about two months
ago she received bill from the publishers for
SIS She very much surprised, of course, but
will have to pay the money. This should be a
lesson to others who are careless about such mat
ters If you do not want to take o paper it is
your business to return it to the postmaster and
request him to send it back to the publication Of
fee "refused" But before you do this see that
what you already owe is paid, otherwise the pub
Usher may refuse to stop it until you have done
So 1t is not square thing for newspaper pub
Usher to try to force his paper upon person who
does not want it, hoping to enforce payment some
time by resort to the law, and therefore it is
clearly the duty of an honest person, who has paid
the publisher all he owes, to have the paper re-
turned to him if he does not want it any longer.
We know of one instance, which occurred in Bal
! tmore county few years ago, where we'll
known gentleman had to pay subscription bill
of about $50, and for paper, too, which was not
addressed to him, but to man who had once
been in his employ. The gentleman, or some
member of his family, having regularly taken the
paper from the postoffce, thereby made him re-
sponsible for the subscription, which was collected
| by Towsontown lawyer.

| Towsontown and It's Sanitary Require
ments.-An editorial in the Baltimore San of
Thursday has the following to say upon this sub
| ject "Towsontown, the county seat of Baltimore
| county, is of the brightest and most attrac-
tive of smaller towns of the State. Its site,
the slope and crest of ridge nearly six hundred
feet above mean tide, overlooking on the one side
arolling country studded with fine villa residences,
| and on the other the charming Dulany's Valley,
| is open to all the airs that blow, and with its
Court House, surrounded by ornamental grounds,
its broad streets lined, for the most part, with
shade trees and with no marshes in the neighbor-
hood to contaminate its air, it is naturally one of
the healhiest places in the State and can be made
with proper sanitary arrangements as pleasant a
summer resort as any to be found within easy dis
lance from Baltimore, with facilities for reaching
it by steam cars, and by horse railroad. The pos
session also of fine roads in several directions
offers opportunities for riding and driving which,
to those in search of health and recreation are Of
prime Importance. Towsontown is, moreover, q
quiet and orderly town of some fourteen hundred
inhabitants, and with its churches and stores and
handsome dwellings, has everything about it to
render @ residence there agreeable. But if nature
and mans handiwork have done much for the
bright little town, its natural salubrity has been
seriously affected by causes which have rendered
it subject to those zymotic diseases-typhoidf fever,
dysentery and diphtheria-that are produced, to
altogether preventable by proper sanitary meas
ures Here follows reference to the report
of the State Board of Health, which appears
on the first page of THE UNION to-day.l 1t
is shown in the official report that the i'm
purity of this water arose from the drainage of
stables and of house drains and water closets into
the wells and the natural inference is that these
deleterious liquids were the principal causes of
the typhoid fever, diphtheria and dgsentery that
prevailed there during the summer and fall of
1886, to which was added the want of cleanliness
in connection with the outlying premises of houses
of the poorer sort. All this, however, it is pro-
posed to remedy by the vigorous enforcement of
better sanitation, by securing pure water from ar
tesian or driven wells, and by closing up those
that have been heretofore in use If these radical
changes made Towsontown will be restored to
its original saubrity, and become, with its quiet
brightness, its shade trees, its broad streets and
ornamental grounds, as inviting place for per-
rancnt residence or as q health resort in summer

The Defaulting Bank Clerk-His Home

The Default1ng Bank Cl0rk-H1S Home
in Baltimore County.-John d. Lisle, discount
clerk of the First National Bank, Baltimore who
is charged with robbng the bank of about $50 900,
lived his farm in the 4th district of this county,
near Glen Falls. He left his home, as usual, on
Saturday morning last and his wife supposed he
had gone to the city. He left the Western Mary
| land train at Pennsylvania avenue station, since
which time nothing has been seen or heard of him,
and it is believed that he has gone to Canada.
Those VIII have had close business relations wish
Lisle say that he is an exceedingly shrewd man,
| and have no doubt that he has taken every pre-
caution to ensure his safety. Mr.. J. Alexander
Preston, attorney for the bank, on Wednesday is
of Lise, which was placed in the hands of Sheriff
Miller. The real estate belongs to Mrs. Lisle. The
disposition that Lsle has made of the $50, 900 is
unknown. 1t is impossible that he could have
| spent it on his farm. While in high state of
cultivation, with necessary buildings and improve
ments it does not show the great degree of atten
ton which would have been the result of such q
lavish outlay of money. 1t contains 12O acres.
The house, grounds and fencing are in good order
and comfortable, but have nothing elaborate about
them. The average expenses of running such a
farm should be easily covered by its products, and
the salary of 81 800 year which Lise received.
+ He is said to have entertained lavishly, always
having wine at his entertainments, and to. have
| paid eighteen dollars hundred for his CIGARS be-
sides six hundred dollars recently for piano. A
| gentleman connected with the bank said that he
| discredited the statements, and that Lise was a
| man of plain taste and habits His clothes, he
| said, were always plain and sometimes shabby,
| and did not give evidence of any great degree of
| pride or care.

Messrs. Editors, after weary, wakeful, frozen
night your correspondent was seized by an over
whelming desire to express his envy of q certain
following effusion which, you will perceive, is en-
tirey original, and which he offers as tribute to
and memorial of the departing winter
o, ye highly favored mortals,
Who never have cold feet,
Who can just pull off your socks
And jump on an icy sheet;
Ye are blessed, if ye knew it,
From one trial here relieved,
How I envy ye, ye lucky ones,
Would never be conceived.
Cold feet, like Indigestion,
Bring bad dreams in their train,
With many toss and tumble,
Seeking comfort, all in vain;
And many an exclamatian,
Not loud, but very deep,
Comes swelling upward from the soul
Of the poor wretch hunting sleep.
Then what joyful morning,
After such dreary night
How really, truly welcome
Is the first "gray morning light"
What jolly thing fire is,
What simple bliss complete,
Yell never have an idea, friends,
Unless ye have cold feet. IKE.

/ Hartford Road Items.-Between IL and l
O'Clock on Sunday night last the stabing on the
Collins farm, which is rented by Mr.. Robert Law,
was burned to the ground, together with its con-
tents including two horses, seven COWS, two calves
hay, straw, all his farming implements, &c. The
only stock saved were two heifers which managed to
escape from the burning building. The loss falls
very heavily upon Mr.. Law, his insurance having
run out only week before the fire and had not
been renewed. 1t is believed the building was set
on fire, as a strong smell of coal oil was detected
while it was burning Subsequently man, who
was thought to have fired the stable, was arrested
and had hearing before Justice Carter, but the
evidence against him was not thought to be sufi-
cient to warrant his detention.
Just now the Hartford turnpike is in very bad
condition, caused by the heavy stone teams pass
ing over it daily and cutting deep ruts in it. A
large force Of men is kept constantly at work max.
ing repairs, and it will require the active efforts Of
Capt. France to get it in good condition during
the present month. VIGILANT.

day evening, at o'clock, Mr.. Harmed Davis, son
of the late John Davis, of Shane P. o., was united
in marriage with Miss Ella, daughter of the late
Josiah Pearce, of this district. The ceremony was
performed by Rev. Mr.. German, at Stabler's
Church. The bride looked very handsome in o
white cloth dress, trimmed with lace. Immedi.
ately after the ceremony they started on a bridal
tour South. We wish them much happiness.
Mr.. W. Z. McComas reports snow several inches
deep at Watkins Glen, making their trip less de-

Capt. Cowell, of Ocean Grove, N. j. They re-

There is talk of repairing the house and reopen
ing the school at Oak Hill, which really should be
done as the school has been closed since last fall,
depriving many children of the means of acquir-
ing an education. We know of several families
who started their children to other schools, two
and three miles away, but were compelled TO keep
them at home after few weeks, as the little folks
were unable to travel so far, and yet are taxed
to keep up schools and build school-houses. We
think justice is demanded here Either give us a
house fit to be occupied, or strike the school tax
from our bills. KoRNER HATCH.

Incorrigible Miss Flyaway.-The Balti-
more American says: you've met Miss Flyaway,
of course. Everybody has. She lives in every
city, every town, every village She is big part
of every society circle. She goes everywhere.
She sees everything. She is at receptions, balls,
the opera, at all the great entertainments. She
is perfectly lovely creature. She always has a
perfectly gorgeous time. All the people she fan
cies are awfully NICE All others are horrid, don't
you know. Hshe goes out anywhere-and where
is it she doesn't go?-everything she sees is per-
fectly beautiful. If it is pug dog as ugly as a
mud fence, in her eyes it becomes perfectly lovely:
fit is silk dress, it is perfectly magnificent 1t
it is sad dude with pink boutoDniere, it is tre-
mendously swell. If it is SNOWY dog cart, it is
just too awfully cute for anything. Every party
that this superative creature attends is the most
perfectly lovely affair she ever saw in her life.
There is no use trying to reform Miss Fyaway.
She is incorrigible. She will keep up her lingual
and voluble ecstacies in this world, and when she
goes above and gazes upon the scenes Of celestial
beauty she will probably remark to one Of the an
gels, "Isn't it perfectly lovely S"'
